Nice car. Only thing I don't like is the rear wheel spacing.

To tell you the truth I dont like it either. The previous owner installed the 9 inch rear end which made the wheels stick out a little. Ive been debating on whether to stick a stock 8 inch and sell the 9 inch.

Looks great! Initially I didn't notice the wheel spacing, but after it was pointed out I looked again and agree that it looks too wide.

65-66 rears are hard to find. Since you have the 9" already, you might just be better off cutting it down to the right size.

Another option is to have it narrowed and the axles cut down. I can't tell from the pics if you are in SoCal, but Currie is in Orange County.
